Board of Trade Bldg. are now coming here, ana they cannot get enough encores nod show tbeir appreciation with too mucn rigor. Last night the people at Town Hall very nearly broke un the meeting by be ginning their enthusiasm in one of rteginald Werrenrath's Ms numbers, but be merely paused a second and then concluded bis song with more eclat. There was another large audience at the third reclul In the Keystone course. It was a rather different as.

semblag than usual, but nevertheless appreciative and pleased. One pleas ant fact about Town Hall is that It is lighted sufficiently, Last flight the stage was newly dressed by Miss Besaneon and was exceedingly attrac tlve, with a background of delicately distributed evergreen branches, star red with crimson poinsettias, and a plentltuda of palms with a rose.shadr ed tall lamp In just tha right spot to make a picture. The happy combination of errenrath, baritone, and Kudolph Ganz, pianist, could not have been improved. Werrenrath made many friends here in former visits, who believe that his voice is developing even greater breadth and pot at the sacrifice of its rare musical quality. Surely there are few baritones with such a low register, resonant as a 'cello cord, and pure as pan's pipes among the reeds.

He prefaced the programme Wlth Tha Star Spangled Banner" that was sung with a bouyancy truly inspiring. It prepared the listeners for the fle light that followed, The following en chantment of his tones was noted in the first number the Surry song, so sweet and gracious, as arranged by Lucy Broadway, The Irish "kittle Mary Cassldy" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" were fascinating. The final number in this group was "The Pretty Creature," arranged by Lane Wilson from the Old English, air. Later Mr. Werrenrath sang three French aongs, "Le Manoir Rosemonde" by Puparc, a brilliantly unusual song, dramatic and stirring.

"The Miroir" by Ferrari, was one of his best selections and following this he sang the prologue from "Pagliacci," in which his best work of the evening was shown, nobly dramatic and marked by great clarity of tone. "'The Irish Guards," from Kipling, really brought down the house. The delicate and exquisite threnody, "The Mouse or Memories," by Florence Ayl ward, was followed by the familiar "A Khaki Lad," that was another of the evening's great successes. As a clos ing number was substituted "Fuy Wuzzy," again from Kipling, the music by Arthur Whiting, typical, suitable music It was. Mr.

Werrenrath's encores included a wonderful render ing of "Drink to Me Only With Thine l' yes," "Consecration," by Manning; "The Ringers," that dear old English bell song, "My Lady (Old Eng. Hell, and "Tommy Lad," by Marget son. His accompanist, Charles Albert Raker, did excellent work. Rudolph Oanz was wonderful. Such piano playing hag too seldom been heard here and he easily divided the honors with the baritone from the Metropolitan oper.

His Chopin Nocturne, given with much fine delicacy and much restraint was scarcely a preparation for the amazing MacDowell "March Wind" and the Sibelius Romance in Flat. The latter was brilliantly interpreted wilh incredible mastery of technique. The Pagaplnk Llsst "La Campanella," was, ef course, a splen did performance. Nothing more Interesting was given than the ''Little Indian" (Carpenter), with Hs tantalising monotony and its eternal questioning. The dreamy grace of the Lisst encore and the splendor of the "Polonaise Mllftalre (Chopin), were among the delights of the pro.

"Tha one problem resulting from tho war with which the Southern Commercial Congress is most oonoerned is what arrangement will bq made touching tho freedom of the seas," said Speaker Clark.
